To whom? Macron, who refuses to respect the will of the voters, and continues to elevate the far right in France?
Thank you; people keep getting excited whenever France makes moves towards forms of leadership these days but I can’t help but suspect that Macron doesn’t want to eradicate the global hegemony America had held through recent history but put France in its place.
Demanding back a gift given in celebration of America’s abolition of slavery solely on the basis that France was the one to gift it (i.e. ownership) is too on-the-nose, even if you tried.
Give it back to you? How about you pay repairations to Haiti or Algeria or any of your other former colonies before you act like you’re worthy of the Mother of Exiles?
Oh fuck off.
Did France not forever debilitate Haiti’s economy by enslaving it and then requiring Haiti to compensate France for the monetary loss of its liberation before being willing to recognize it as a legitimate country?
I’d remiss to not note that a downvote is not a “No”.
You may be more than giddy to forget but we’re, very much, deprived of that luxury…
